Rocket Rods Song and Lyrics

Below are the lyrics and audio from "World of Creativity (Magic Highways of Tomorrow)," the song for the former Disneyland attraction, Rocket Rods. The lyrics may not be 100% accurate, as I had to transcribe them myself. I believe however they are pretty close.

The first 3 minutes of the song are mainly melody, no lyrics (other than a few non lyrical phrases). If you want to skip to the lyrics portion, please click here. However I recommend listening to the whole thing. It’s only four minutes, and it’s adapted from a Sherman Brothers tune, after all!

Rapid transportation, to destinations, every one at your commandMagic Highways of tomorrow, are more than what they seemRide your mind's designs; ride a dreamRide through open spaces, to distant placesEvery destination's up to youTraveling fast as sound, high above the groundHear our dreams and ride them tooMagic Highways of tomorrow are much more than what they seemRide your mind's designs; ride a dream
